Do the ear thermometers work for temping? I used one this morning and one ear was 36.1 and the other 36.7!!!

I remember reading only oral or vaginal temps are accurate...

Two decimal places is better too.

I think ideally you need one that reads to two decimal points. I mean, you might get a very rough idea using an ear thermometer, but I'm not sure how reliable it'd be for tracking small changes linked to ov. I can't remember what make mine was now, but you can get fairly cheap ones from Amazon (though not ideal if you were wanting to start tracking today, I realise).
